But Obama is going it alone and doesn't need Congress. He's a smuck. Most Presidents once they don't need their own party anymore come to the center, work with the other side, and try to have a decent 2nd term.

Obama had some notion he had a mandate but he has far from it. In fact he may get hammered in the midterms.

Obama should have ignored the GOP out of the gate, five years ago. The GOP is the most worthless gang of politicians in American history. They have zero interest in governing. They are nothing but a bunch of ideological zealots whose fanaticism has been the largest factor in destroying this country. But pretty much all of Washington is completely worthless. They do what their corporate masters tell them to do.

, like he didn't do that. Geez, you guys and rewriting history. Let me guess, you believe the GOP had a big hand in the creation and passing of Obamacare.

Obamacare is nothing. A bandaid. Just because your propagandists have turned it into the latest hysteria event for the rabid Red State faithful means nothing. Thirty years of rewriting the tax code, deregulation and trade policies has flushed this country down the toilet. Why? For greed. Obamacare is just red meat to keep the idiots occupied while the greedy bastards empty the treasury.

They're tired of being patronized and taken for granted. Black unemployment is sky high - higher than under Bush - and Obama yammers about giving jobs poor Americans should be having to illegal aliens.

If Obama actually wants to do something for the black community he needs to drive forward the legislation that creates low fee (or no fee) banking at post offices thereby saving the postal service and getting the working poor out of the clutches of the banks and payday loan scum that prey on them.

That or at least enact a federal usury law. There are about 10 states with no limit on interest rates they can charge, and another 15 or so with rates around 15%.

Of course, the conservatives will just say not to borrow money, regardless of whether it means your family gets to eat or not.
